Official REM Tablature & Sheet Music »

FINEST WORKSONG

{on this song, it is often effective to raise the finger that you're
barring the B chord with to give it a suspended feel and create an
A note in the bass! This song is about 90% style. The chords alone
don't cut it! Oh well.....}

B
The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
E F# E F#
Your finest hour
{same as before}
Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not beg to rhyme
Your finest hour

{break A single notes: A G F# G A}

Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused been confused
Your finest hour
{end with Em and various harmonics}
